Prophages and Growth Dynamics Confound Experimental Results with Antibiotic-Tolerant Persister Cells
ABSTRACT Bacterial persisters are phenotypic variants that survive antibiotic treatment in a dormant state and can be formed by multiple pathways. We recently proposed that the second messenger (p)ppGpp drives Escherichia coli persister formation through protease Lon and activation of toxin-antitoxi...
